Version Plan

The Reference Implementation is being delivered in staged versions based on an agile approach. The Implementation Guide and these sections will be updated shortly after a Version has passed the acceptance criteria of a release. This allows the understanding of the problem and the solution to evolve while product is delivered in stages which align to 3 “Versions”. The Reference Implementation is designed to follow a typical implementation approach and as such:

Version Description
1 Provide a single read-only working Care Connect profile with demo data on a live server accessible by the public. This is also referred to as the MVP.
2 Provide multiple read-only working Care Connect profiles with demo data on a live server accessible by the public.
3 Provide 14 Care Connect profiles with example data for one care setting with audit of use and accessible by both unsecure and secure API interaction.
